PURPOSE:
This was a test film for B.O.R.R.O.W. or Battery Operated Remote Rocket Operated Weapon. I wanted to show it off in a creative way, and besides, i finally came up with a name for it! It was also an inprov challenge that came about when i was going to show it to one of my T.V. Major friends(Ryan).

OUTCOME: 
For 30 minutes of filming and 5 hours of editing i think it turned out pretty nice. Planning it took about 5 minutes and there was a basic plot so that was good enough for me. The only thing that went wrong was when BORROW Misfired. The Flashcube bulb didn't ignite the fuses and all that you saw was the cube going off. Since all the tension was building to see it go off i lit the fuses and moved out of the shot, not knowing i would incorporate it into the film (notice the edited pan so that the shot would blend smoother and the remote control in the shot) I might post an alternate ending of what really happened (bloopers too!) 
PLOT:
Soldier is fighting off enemy.
Enemy deploys BURROW
Soldier reaches for SWORDS but the wrong robot was packed
Soldier tries to face BORROW but is immediately pinned and surrenders
Soldier get a phone call from general to check up on things
BORROW gets interference from phone and fires the missiles safely into the air
